Would you eat off the floor? Why should your dog….

The healthy benefits of elevated dog feeders are highly acknowledged by veterinarians and other dog experts, and include the following:

Better Posture

If a dog has a back or neck problems, a raised dog feeder will certainly help him/her to eat and drink more comfortably.

 

Swallowing Easily

It is difficult for some dogs to swallow with their head down, especially for those with medical conditions such as mega-esophagus.

 

Health Benefits

Raised dog feeders reduce food and water gulping. They also prevent rare but serious condition such as canine bloat (or vovulvus), mega-esophagus, which presents itself when the food does not descend in the dog's stomach but stays in the esophagus. This can lead to regurgitation and vomiting. So, it important to evaluate your dog's eating habits. If your dog tends to eat too fast, an elevated dog feeder will slow him/her down and you can also add a slow-feed dog bowl to it to make the dog feeder even more efficient.



Elevated dog feeders and dog bowls are much more comfortable for older dogs with arthritis, back, joint or muscular pain. For these dogs, bending down to eat can be uncomfortable and/or painful. An elevated dog dish will help them eat in a more comfortable manner.

 

Functionality & Sanitary Bowls

Elevated dog feeders often come with stainless steel bowls which are light enough to be removed for easy cleaning and filling.

Stainless steel is durable, sanitary, rust-free, and non-leaching. Such bowls will last a lifetime.
